Chapter 4 His Long Lost Love

“Oh em gee, REALLY?” Bella’s jaw hung open in shock.

She pulled Olivia close and whispered excitedly, “Didn’t you say that the CEO of the Evans Group wasn’t interested in women? Sounds like he might have a secret love! AND she’s the future CEO of our

company!?”

Olivia patted Bella’s hand with a smile. “You really should try to be more informed about these things, Bella. How can you work in

the CEO’s office and not know all this hot

gossip?”

“Well c’mon, hurry up and tell me now, I’m

all ears!” Bella said, quickly tugging on

Olivia’s sleeve.

Olivia lowered her voice. “Mr. Evans and

the chairman’s daughter were childhood

sweethearts. Rumor has it, Mr. Evans

proposed to Ms. Moore five years ago.

But she turned him down to focus on her

studies, so they split up. They haven’t even

contacted each other for the last five years.

But as soon as Ms. Moore returned to the

country, Mr. Evans personally went to the airport to pick her up. That’s enough to

prove that Mr. Evans still has strong feelings

for her.”

Bella covered her mou th, widened her big round eyes, and almost exclaimed, “Oh my

god! It’s like the perfect sweet romance!”

Amelia’s heart ached in her chest, and gloom spread through her face.

So the truth was… James terminated their

contract early because his long lost love, his

real love, had come back.

But if he already had a childhood love, why did he buy her for one night five years ago?

And after sleeping with her just once,

he even forced her to sign a contract to

continue their “relationship”.

And whenever he touched her, he went so

crazy that he couldn’t control himself and keep his hands off her, spending hours and hours in bed together.

Amelia couldn’t believe it. Just as she was

about to ask Olivia where she had heard

this gossip, the elevator opened with a ding!

The executive assistant of the chairman,

Lily, and several department managers walked out first. Right after, a man in a

luxurious suite with a cold aura followed.

He had a face and body carved and chiseled by the gods, with the same aloof

temperament.

He seemed almost unreal, like he’d stepped

out of an oil painting, a mix of elegance and coldness, always keeping a distance from

others.

Amelia would recognize that face

anywhere. ‘James…’

Lily gestured to the people inside. “Mr.

Evans, Ms. Moore, here is the president’s office. This way please.”

‘Why is he here?’ she thought, watching

James turn and offer his hand to someone

in the elevator. Then, a delicate, fair hand

was placed in his, and a woman stepped

out.

The moment Amelia saw her face, she finally understood why James bought her for the night and made their contract, all

those years ago.

Except for a few minor differences, Amelia had almost the exact same face as James’

former lover.

She used to think James would return her feelings one day and love her for who she was, but now she knew… she was just a temporary substitute.

Her chest suddenly tightened, and pain swept through her body, turning her face pale.

Bella immediately asked with concern, “Amelia? What’s wrong? Are you feeling

sic k?”

Amelia shook her head gently, and before

Bella could say anything else, Lily led the

two of them over.

She quickly lowered her eyes and didn’t dare look them in the eyes. She couldn’t

stop her hands from trembling on the keyboard as Lily introduced them one by

one.

“This is the president’s office. The assistants here are available to help you with anything you need, Ms. Moore.”

Ms. Moore nodded, looked at everyone, and said softly, “Good morning, everyone. My name’s Emily Moore. Starting today, I’ll be your new CEO.”

‘Emily…’

Amelia couldn’t seem to get enough air into novelbin

her lungs, and she felt lightheaded.

Memories started flooding back of her and

James, their bodies writhing and entwined

in bed.

8/9

Every time, he’d softly call out a name that she could never fully hear, and she always hoped it was hers-Amelia…

Only now did she realize that he was not calling out to her, but to Emily…

Amelia clenched her fists, and her long nails dug into her flesh, but she felt no pain.

The suffocating feelings of humiliation and abandonment overwhelmed her, and she couldn’t fight her tears.

She was so stu pid to have fallen in love with

James, a man who would never ever love

her back.
